Quote by D. H. Lawrence

“And that is ... how they are. So terribly physically all over one another. They pour themselves one over the other like so much melted butter over parsnips. They catch each other under the chin, with a tender caress of the hand, and they smile with sunny melting tenderness into each other's face.”

Pretend it's Carnevale time, don a mask - or just a fresh shirt - and become someone else for a night.”
